Grand Forks, North Dakota – A winter storm may bring accumulating snow and travel impacts to eastern North Dakota beginning Tuesday evening.
According to the National Weather Service in Grand Forks, a winter system is expected to impact the Northern Plains by the middle of this week, with the main impacts forecast from Tuesday evening through Thursday morning.
Forecasters indicate a mix of rain and snow is expected, though uncertainty remains in the system’s track. That track will determine how far north warmer air pushes and where the rain-to-snow line ultimately sets up.
Current probability guidance shows a 76% chance of four or more inches of snow in Grand Forks, with similar probabilities in Grafton (76%) and Devils Lake (61%). Fargo shows a 55% chance, while areas farther south, including Jamestown (45%) and Lisbon (47%), reflect lower probabilities.
The National Weather Service cautioned that snowfall totals remain uncertain and will depend on the eventual placement of the rain/snow line. Officials advise residents to monitor forecast updates over the next several days as the system develops.
While no specific warnings or advisories have been issued at this time, midweek precipitation could affect commutes and school schedules depending on accumulation and road conditions. College students and young workers traveling between cities along the Red River Valley may want to monitor changing conditions.
Forecasters say updates will continue as confidence in the system’s track improves.
